Chapter 21~*
It only took Jason a few seconds to register what was happening. He took of so quickly that Robin hadn't even seen him leave. He cut the two men off at the door.
"Excuse us" One of the men said, blindsighted by the rudeness the man was suddenly showing. "We need to get going"
"Thats fine, but your leaving with out the baby."
"Thats not your decison sir." The man said calmly. He had delt with parents before had lost custody of children and didn't want tp give them up. "Your daughter here, has a very nice family waiting for her. I don't know what the reason is that you lost her but, I have no control ov..."
"I didn't lose custody of her. I never HAD custody of her. I'm her uncle and would like to GET custody of her- today" Jason said in a level voice.
"Sir, getting custody could take months. We don't have that kind of time. There is alot of paper work involved. And while you fight for custody, your neice will have to stay with the foster family."
"I'm sure there is a way to get around that. Just, lets sit and discuss this. BEFORE you ship my neice of to some strangers who could probley care less about her best interest."
The other man who was holding Jaimie, finally piped up. He had been playing with her and Jaimie had been laughing. "And YOU know what is in her best interest? Mr....... I am sorry I didn't catch your name"
"Morgan, Jason Morgan."
And annoying voice came from behind the two men. "Don't waste your time with introductions guys. This man could never possibly act as a fit father figure. He has no idea what it's like to care for a child!! he can't even remember being a child!" AJ sneered, but was stopped by Emily smacking him upside the head while Jafreen glared at him and as Courtney retorted.....
"Thats funny, I could have sworn Jason is the one who took care of your son AJ. And Micheal couldn't have turned out better!"
"What about the fact that he works for the mob"
"Correction, coffee buisness" Jason said. facing the men. They had name tags on, one was a social worker named Andrew, and the other was named Elijah.
AJ laughed. "Coffee buisness my left foot!!!! Don't let this... hitman steal that darling child away from that loving family who is waiting for her. Just like he stole my son, and my wife"
"Just like your trying to steal my daughter!!" Jafreen yelled
"That is so hypocrytical AJ!! You know Jason didn't steal any one from you! Your over there calling Jason a hitman when your waiting to go on trial for 1st degree murder!!" Emily shot
"Aww little Em, gots such a big heart. I'm surprised your still sticking up for him though. I mean sure he always said you were his favorite little sister, one of the few quartermaines that he let in his life. But now he has a little sister who isn't a Quartermaine and he dropps you like yesterdays trash" Emily's eyes got wide.
"Now that is not being fair AJ!!" Courtney said while putting her hand on Emily's shoulder. "Jason is allowed to have more than one little sister!"
"Why you ungreatful little wen......"
"Stop!" Jason warned AJ
"ch... I killed Ric so he would stop bothe....."
"STOP TALKING!!!" Jason said over AJ's voice in a loud but even tone.
"We have gotten completely off topic here. We arent here to go ever past relations, nor are we here to pick favorites!! We are here to straighten out a problem. and that will never happen if we don't do it now"
"Jaimie's leaving... problem solved" Robin said turning to go back into her office.
"Ms. Scorpio, we are always advised to seek a home for a child with known family memebers. I think we should take the time to work something out."
Robin couldn't let her agenda known to the other workers, AJ was the manager, but not the owner. The owner went striclty by the books. SO she had to remain professional if she ever had a chance a getting what she wanted. "Yes, well then why don't we step into my office and get Mr. Morgan here the forms he needs to fill out"
"Done" Jason said pulling a small bundle of folded papers out of his jaket pocket.
"What?" Robin looked at him questioningly
"I had Benny get me the forms, and I filled them out late last night."
"Good ol' Benny huh?" Robin said with a fake smile on her lips.
The social worker named Elijah carried Jaimie over to Jafreen. "Its doesn't look like this little one gets to ride on a plane just yet" He smiled as he handed her to Jafreen. She smiled back and held her daughter close. She had been so shocked when he had just taken her from her arms, and when she finally realised what was going on, Courtney was dragging her down the hall to see what Jason was going to do.
"Well it seems all there is to do now is talk with, judge ______? (LOL the same judge as in GH I just cant think of her name if any of you could tell me I would be really grateful) If she okays temporary custody, then you can take Jaimie hoem with you. And if you have forms for Jafreen too, then she can go as well" Robin said, seeing the worry cross Jafreen's features. Jason too saw this.....
Chapter 22~*
"Of Course I have the papers for Jafreen too" Jason said, Jafreen let out a breath she hadn't known she'd been holding.
"Ohh..... great" Robin said in a sugar coated voice. Jason was too sweet for his own good. He better not get too attached because his beloved sister wouldn't be around too long. Robin promised him silently.
Jason, Jafreen, and Robin went into discuss the situation with judge Farmer. After they had explained the story to judge Farmer, she made the phone call to tell the foster home that they didn't need to hold the space for Jaimie any longer. Jason would take Jafreen and Jaimie home with him, and then they would sceduale a date to got o court to finalise his custody over them.
~*~
They got home an hour before they had to get to 'The Cellar'. It took them a little longer to get back because they had stopped by Jafreen and Janine's old home to get Jafreens belongings. They would set up the guest room for her upstairs when they got back. But for now Jafreen was excited to get out for the night. Jaimie would stay with Micheal and Letisha, and she would just be able to be a 'teenage' girl for the first time in what seemed like forever. Since she had being a mother top priority since she got pregnant.
She was really excited because Dillon was going to be there. Carly was letting Jafreen in even though she was under 18, just because she could. And Carly had just so happened to mention, that Dillon hung out at the 'Cellar' every saturday night with Zander and Emily. She also happened to 'mention' that Dillons girlfriend was never there because she wasn't of age. Soem how Jafreen got the feeling that Carly knew she like Dillon.
Jafreen and Courtney were getting dressed while Jason waited downstairs on the couch. He knew he shouldn't be complaining since normally it would take Courtney 3 times as long, but they only had an hour tonight so she had to hurry.
~*~
Jafreen did the last cornroll in her hair that went a few inches past her forhead. She then scruch curled the rest of it and put on a little make up, As Courtney Curled the final strand on her head into a banana curl, her hair was fun and bouncy like that, but still classy, once she put a few random, small rinestone bead peices in her hair. Then put on some make up as well.
Courtney was wearing a silver spagetti strap dress, that fell just below the knee, and shoes to match.
Jafreen wore a Black strapless dress that fell a little above the knees, and had slight shimmers all over.
They both looked gorgeous, Courtney wanted to because this was the first time her and Jason were going out as a couple, and Courtney was pretty sure Jafreen wanted to because the slight- accually obvious hints Carly put in about Dillon being there.
